type. Not big possessions but a nullifier and spoiler.
Some of his spoils on Sunday were excellent.

Also thought Wallis was better on Sunday and he did a lot of the bullocking work that allowed others to get a free run at it.
He will get his opportunities and he kicks straight.

This is the downside of playing Daniel down back, with the new rules. It's not effective to have him not take the kickouts, because realistically he can't present much of a target, but by having him as the designated kickout taker we're easily giving up 15+ metres of penetration.

Ideally he receives the handball from a kick in somewhere in the middle of the ground and is the one delivering it into forward 50. Daniel operating in the front half of the ground is a massive weapon for us.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

People slammed us for having too many mids. There's your vindication dogs. Tag team rotations, that's our strength and we're going ride or die with it.

Vandermeer and Williams, take a bow.

My two fav players

I’m not sure it’s not effective, having Daniel chained to the feet of Timmy/Naughty/Bruce at the kick ins is basically guaranteeing repossession if a marks not taken, or he could get free sort of 40 out etc with no one really paying him too much attention. We definitely overuse him for the kick outs though. I’m not a big fan of the Melbourne approach, I.e May kick every single kick in 70m to a contest, but we should be using Williams and Dureya more for that long penetrating kick, mix it with Daniel taking good options at 40-60m who can then go over the zone. The problem was yesterday nobody was presenting at all there was no system in place to generate loose players so Daniel was just going down the line time and time again

Edit: or as Maddog said, floating past for the handball receive after one our talls takes a mark

imagine how good our backline could be with someone of Moore’s talent? Gardner has potential but still a way to go IMO.

 

[Bald]

No major injuries came from the weekend which is nice. Jamarra the only notable one and he's listed as a test.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Today was the day that Treloar probably fell in love with now being a dogs player. He played a massive role in front of a passionate crowd in a huge win.

I thought that after bonts sealer and again after the final siren.

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

And tell me if Dunkley has any reservations about not becoming an Essendon player ?

Only for his poor wallet

 

[Fossie 32]

I loved the way Astro kicked the second last ? goal and ran down to the back line to help save the game and revved up the crowd on his way

Loved it too but thought it was a tad too early to play that kind of defence. Worked out OK though!

Yeah I thought what are they doing not having Bonti at the ball up after that? That worked out ok too

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

I love Duryea but he was ordinary in several one on one direct contests. also trailed getting back in transition several times. Keath, Gardner, Daniel, and Dale similarly poor in the same aspects

Oh my God wow.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

According to the main board we only won because the umpires love us, this is 2016 all over again, so that’s good news, another flag in the bag

Exactly

 

[Al dente]

Was in Bay 37 on level 3 and we were packed in there. Felt liked it was a good sized crowd and added to the atmosphere from that perspective, but there were large sections of level 3 that looked pretty sparse.

So I can understand the lower crowd. Not particularly great organisation from AFL and Ticketmaster because fans were spread out in some bays and like sardines in others, so not sure how COVID-safe it all was.

Makes the noise that was coming in the last few minutes even more impressive. The place was shaking when Williams got the ball free and Bruce collected it down the wing before kicking it to Bont. Massive last passage of play.

ridiculous ticketing strategy. All member barcodes were given no options for seating and crammed into sections. General public had their choice of any section they wanted that was available. Terrible way to treat members

 

[Fossie 32]

It is great the side were able to come back after losing the lead like that. Hopefully will give them confidence that they can do it again in future.

Player ratings on the money with this one. Bont and Nic Nat dominant, Wallis and Scott in trouble based on this

 

[Bro_Pro]

Haha Mods looking after the boys again I see with post removals

 

[doggies ftw]

How goods Bonts contested marking gotten. He’s genuinely probably an elite contested mark now, I’m so confident when he’s going up for one, probably more confident than anyone on our list other than Naughty. If he keeps his goal kicking up, along with his marking. He’s the best midfielder in the comp no doubt in my mind.

 

[Philthy1]

Only for his poor wallet

No doubt Essendon lied to him about where they thought their list was at. He may not have realised the favour we did for him.

 

[Munnez]

not sure about writing wally off, had a few good moments, tried hard and will get better... stays in for mine

If he nailed the gettable shots that had
Would have been a good day at the office.
That snap was an absolute howler! I'm sure he will get it together wouldn't want to leave it much longer though.

But, but he's no Patrick Cripps...

Good to see the player rankings back up the eye test with Bailey Dale. Had a great game.

You’d have to be pretty happy having that discussion deleted Bro. Saves you from having to put your balls on the line with a rundown on Gards’ game.

Poor Wally recorded a lower rating than the two players that didn’t play a minute of the game.
